You're a stellar parallax
Bending the light from the stars off our hard
Working American backs
Working American backs

You're a textbook full of facts
I have been studying hard you heard start
Working and never relax
Working and never relax

Every sunset scripted and message encrypted
A storyline that's borderline romantic but it fits in
With every single tragedy like Shakespeare you just had to be
Or not to be I guess but you were never quite so gifted

You're an ear to listen, a back for heavy liftin'
A pair o' knees for bearin' these old bones that I've been given
You're a passing breeze between the leaves of branches of a fallen tree
I used to climb when climbin' trees was fine, now it's different
